Plan de Noyer
Review Submitted: September 22, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
The property is clean and spacious.
The kitchen is well equipped in terms of crockery, cutlery and utensils. However, it is in need of a general modernisation, with the cooker overdue for replacement, and although the fridge looks new, it is rather small - just about manageable for a party of two, but could be a problem where there is full occupancy. Instant hot water is a good point.
The master bedroom is generous in size with a large wardrobe and extremely comfortable bed. It has a lovely view over the vineyard and countryside beyond. The second bedroom is also quite roomy with a good selection of books.
The fully-tiled bathroom is pleasant, with a very efficient shower.
Although the swimming pool is very attractive, we were disappointed to find that it is not self-contained within the guest area, but on the opposite side of the building where the owners have their living quarters.
The general location of the property is good, and is very peaceful. A number of local villages are well worth a visit, being both attractive and unspoilt. The Sunday market in Salernes is a must (thanks to the owner for recommending this!). The Gorge de Verdon is absolutely spectacular, and The Abbaye de Thoronet is well worth a visit.
Particularly recommended restaurants are "L'Oustaou", "La Fleur de Thym" and "Le Bouddha de Jade" in Flayosc, and "Le Relais de la Belle Epoque" in Salernes, although there would be no complaints about any of the eating establishments visited during the stay.
Finally, it should be said that the owners are most charming, helpful and attentive - not forgetting their two lovable dogs! Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay.
Owner's Response: Dear Future Renter,
Since 2003 we've had five very dry years and after last spring's heavy rain fall there are a few new cracks on the outer wall of the kitchen, These will be repaired and all kitchen walls will be repainted.
The cooker is lovely old, very efficient, gaz cooker which is appreicated by most rental guests. The fridge was an emergency buy by our dog-sitter last July, when the old much larger fridge broke down. The old fridge has now been repaired and is back in place. The patio will have a new table for next summer but the six plastic chairs will remain as they're of high quality and very comfortable.The solar heated swimming pool (4x 8), which is located on the other side of the house, is entirely for the private use of our rental guests. However, the owners may go for a quick swim when the weather very hot.
